Sweet Pea Perfection

I picked this kit because its just so beautiful-I mean look at it, gorgeous. I know exactly where I want to put it in my home. However, it may be a while because I've found working on it to be more frustrating than fun. Most of the stitches require 3 plys of floss, and the aida is very tough so I have a hard time getting the needle into it, then pulling through such a thick skien of thread is tougher than on my other projects. I'll probably get around to using a sharper needle but still I see many pin pricks in my future. Also I've already run out of some of the more prominent pinks: "13127" only came with 2 lines of floss and not even a 1/4 of the way through the flowers I have run out. That color is used so often on the pattern, I was just shocked to see they thought it only required 2. I converted the # to DMC online and tried to replace it but the DMC version is a little brighter than the one provided, so I might end up having to order it online. Because of these problems I find myself preferring other projects I have in progress over this one, so it may be quite a while before it graces my wall unfortunately.
